Eurovision 2016 Winner Jamala “1944” stage graphics

May 2016Stockholm, Sweden

Front Pictures became part of the team that prepared Jamala’s performance of “1944” for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest and created the stage graphics for the winning entry. Jamala’s performance won the contest, scoring 534 points for Ukraine.
Front Pictures is very proud to be a part of this historic victory.

The visuals for “1944” start out with a tunnel of light behind Jamala’s back. A flowery pattern grows under Jamala’s feet during the first chorus, and the second verse starts with the world falling apart around her. The singer is stranded on a small piece of land surrounded by a prison cage made of trembling lights. The light cage disappears for the emotional acapella fragment. And for the song’s dramatic finale, a giant tree rises and spreads wide behind the artist’s back.
The winning performance created a huge sensation within the global mass media and received rave reviews from both the audience and critics.
